Budget for Arthropod Control for Fiscal Year October 1, 1995
through September 30, 1996.

Authorization to reject quote #Q-2-5-33, Used Heavy Equipment
(Landfill) and rebid under revised specifications. The Solid
Waste Department requested quotes for a used Water Wagon,
Track Excavator, Wheel Loader, 4 x 4 Articulated Truck and
Dozer. The Board authorized Purchasing to waive bid
requirements and accept quotes at their February 21, 1995
Board Meeting. The Office of Purchasing received eight quotes
on April 25, 1995. Solid Waste did a detailed evaluation of
the quotes and their recommendation is stated in the attached
Comparative Equipment Report (Attachment 1.). We have worked
closely with Solid Waste in doing this comparative and concur
with their recommendation to reject the quotes on used
equipment and rebid under revised specifications for new
equipment. In reviewing Solid Waste's Comparative Equipment
Report and Purchasing's spread sheet (Attachment 2), it would
not be in the County's best interest to purchase used
equipment from this quote. The prices we received on the used
equipment are not economical when compared to new equipment
prices and the numerous advantages of new equipment compared
to used equipment. Funding for this is from Account
#420.4546270.534.8600640 and was budgeted in Fiscal Year
1994-95.

E) Authorization to waive Bid Requirements and Issue Purchase
Orders for Services or Commodities that are Not Bid or Quoted,
or if they are OEM Repairs.

DIVISION AMOUNT

SOLID WASTE $89,900.00

Ringhaver Equipment/Authorization to waive bid requirements
and sole source the rebuild of Solid Waste's 1986 Caterpillar
936 Loader. Ringhaver is the only authorized Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the Lake County area for
Caterpillar equipment. Per Lake County Policy LCC-18, OEM
repairs can be exempt from the competitive bid process,
however, repairs over $25,000 requires Board approval. Solid
Waste originally received Board approval during the FY 1994-95
Budget process to purchase a second larger loader, but as
explained in the attached letter from Claire Bartlett, Solid
Waste Disposal Operations Manager, it is recommended that the
smaller 1986 Loader be rebuilt instead of purchasing a new
larger Loader at a savings of approximately $178,100.00
(Attachment 3). Funding for this is from Account
#420.4546270.534.8300460.

CONTRACTS, LEASES & AGREEMENTS/ZONING

Ms. Sue Whittle, Interim County Manager, stated that the
request for acceptance of an Agreement between the Board of County
Commissioners and Arlie and Linda Jarrell for a Temporary Non-Conforming Zoning Use to place a mobile home on property located at
18248 State Road 19 while the conventional home was being built had
been pulled from the County Managers' Consent Agenda due to an
adjacent property owner who wished to discuss this issue with the
Board.

Mr. Greg Stubbs, Director of Development Regulations Services
Division, appeared before the Board and explained that an adjacent
property owner had objection to a mobile home being placed on the
property. He explained that a building permit was good for six (6)
months with a renewal period and that one (1) to two (2) years was
the normal time period for a Temporary Non-Conforming Zoning Use
for placement of a mobile home on property while a conventional
home was being built.

Commr. Swartz requested that the acreage be included on future
requests for Temporary Non-Conforming Zoning Uses to assure that
acreage requirement are being met in the Ordinance. He stated that
he does not recall any Temporary Non-Conforming Zoning Uses in the
past few years that extended beyond the first six (6) months.

Ms. Pam Lee, an adjacent property owner, appeared before the
Board in opposition to this request and stated that it was her
understanding that the property owner had unlimited ability to
renew a building permit once the mobile home was placed on the
property. She expressed concern with the actual size of the
property in question, noting that the 2.7 acres includes a pasture
and one (1) acre easement. She further expressed concern that a
general contractor was not involved in the building of the
conventional home, and that the property owners had a July 1996
completion date which extends beyond the six (6) month requirement
for the temporary zoning use.

Mr. Sandy Minkoff, County Attorney, explained that the first
extension of a building permit was automatic as long as one
inspection was requested during the first six month period. He
further explained that the building official could determine not to
grant additional extensions if the official did not feel that
progress was being made after the first extension renewal.

Commr. Hanson expressed concern that the County has been
lenient with granting Temporary Non-Conforming Zoning Uses within
the one (1) year time frame, and stated that she was not in
agreement with having a mobile home in a non-conforming area for
longer than one (1) year. She suggested that the language be
amended so that the temporary use was not extended beyond the one
(1) year time frame.

Commr. Cadwell stated that he was not comfortable taking
action on the request before the Board at this time for a Temporary
Non-Conforming Zoning Use without the applicants present to present
their side.

Commr. Good made a motion, which was seconded by Commr.
Hanson, to postpone the request for acceptance and execution of an
Agreement between the Board of County Commissioners and Arlie and
Linda Jarrell for a Temporary Non-Conforming Zoning Use to place a
mobile home on property located at 18248 State Road 19 while the
conventional home was being built until July 22, 1995.

The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which carried
unanimously.

Ms. Lee requested that she be given the opportunity to review
the applicants' plans.

Commr. Swartz stated that, based on review by staff and the
County Attorney's office, documents that are subject to the
Sunshine Law should be available to Ms. Lee for review. He
requested that staff provide a recap of the mobile home Temporary
Non-Conforming Zoning Uses in place and how long said uses have
been in place. Commr. Hanson requested that staff also provide a
recap of the number of non-conforming uses on less than a one (1)
acre tract. Commr. Swartz further requested that Ms. Sue Whittle,
Interim County Manager, assure that the other Temporary Non-Conforming Zoning Uses that have been approved this date, to place
a mobile home on property while a conventional home was being
built, were in compliance with the code that has been adopted by
the Board.

SUITS AFFECTING THE COUNTY/STATE AGENCIES

Mr. Sandy Minkoff, County Attorney, informed the Board that
the Stipulated Settlement Agreement between Lake County and the
State of Florida Department of Community Affairs in regard to the
Florida Division of Administrative Hearings Case No. 94-5824GM,
Department of Community Affairs v. Lake County and Pringle
Communities and Charles E. Bradshaw, affects one of his current
clients. He stated that he has not been involved in the
negotiations of this case, and that Mr. Rolon Reed, Interim County
Attorney, had negotiated the agreement before the Board at this
time.

Mr. Tim Hoban, Senior Assistant County Attorney, appeared
before the Board and stated that the Settlement Agreement before
the Board was a Times Certain to adopt a Settlement Agreement with
the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to repeal Land Use Plan
Amendment 94-1-1-2, which would reinstate the previous land use
designation of rural on approximately 2,002 acres of property. He
explained that the agreement that Mr. Rolon Reed, Interim County
Attorney, had negotiated with DCA was an agreement that would
remove from the map, as one amendment, the Pringle and Bradshaw
properties and the properties in between.

Mr. Mark Knight, Chief Planner, Planning & Development
Services, appeared before the Board and stated that the original
amendment had been initiated by Charles E. Bradshaw.

At this time, Commr. Gerber opened the public hearing portion
of the meeting.

Ms. Cecelia Bonifay, Attorney, McQuire, Voorhis & Wells, P.A.,
representing Charles E. Bradshaw and Hi-Acres, provided a brief
history of the facts leading up to the Settlement Agreement. She
explained that her client had originally requested urban expansion,
and, at that time, the County stated that suburban was a more
appropriate land use classification, and the opinion of the County
Attorney was that suburban land use classification would allow up
to three (3) units per acre if the land developed as a Planned Unit
Development. She explained that the County had suggested that the
Pringle property be combined with the Bradshaw properties to spread
out the density that had been approved, and the County then added
additional territory, and initiated a Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
She stated that a compromise was negotiated with the Department of
Community Affairs, which was adopted by the Board as part of the
last set of Comprehensive Plan Amendments. She stated that her
client continued to go forward with the encouragement of the County
to resolve this situation, and now find themselves in the position
that DCA has appealed the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and the
County wants to rescind all of its prior agreements through a
Settlement Agreement with DCA. She stated that the County has not
acted in a fair and equitable manner throughout this process, and
that, for the record, her clients were going to contest the
Settlement Agreement. She stated that the County was not in
compliance with the terms of FloridaStatute, Chapter 163.318 (16),
which govern adoption of compliance agreements and provides that
the intervenors must be provided reasonable notice of negotiations,
and negotiations must be opened to the public. She stated that the
property owners, as formal intervenors in the process, have not
been supplied amble notice and, therefore, the Settlement Agreement
before the Board cannot be adopted at this time.

Mr. Steven Richey, Attorney, representing Pringle Development
Company, appeared before the Board and stated that he had discussed
with Mr. Rolon Reed, Interim County Attorney, a proposal to allow
his client, as part of the Settlement Agreement, to develop the
vested Development of Regional Impact (DRI), with density of 1,500
units, and to utilize the one hundred and seventy (170) acres of
uplands that had been added to the Development Order, in November,
as a non-substantial change to allow flexibility in the golf
course. He stated that the Interim County Attorney indicated that
he would communicate said proposal to Mr. Terrell K. Arline,
Assistant General Counsel, Department of Community Affairs. Mr.
Richey stated that he had discussed with Mr. John Baker, Department
of Community Affairs, the proposal with regard to using the one
hundred and seventy (170) acres for vested density, which would not
require the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to be changed to suburban.
Mr. Richey stated that he addressed a letter to the Interim County
Attorney, dated August 11, 1995, indicating previous discussions,
status of said discussions, and the response from DCA. He stated
that it was his understanding that the Settlement Agreement would
not be presented to the Board at this time, and that DCA would have
the opportunity to review and respond to his client's proposed
Settlement Agreement. He stated that he was requesting a two week
postponement so that verification could be made of any
communications with the Department of Community Affairs. He stated
that, if the Board decided not to accept the proposal, he would
urge the Board to accept the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. He
requested that the Board not rescind a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
that has been relied on by property owners; however, if the Board
chooses to do that, he requested that the Board diminish the impact
of the action by adding language that would allow his clients to
utilize the one hundred and seventy (170) acres in some reasonable
way consistent with the vested DRI.

Mr. Hoban indicated that the Interim County Attorney had kept
him informed of the decisions and recommendations in regard to the
Settlement Agreement and had assured him that the intervenors had
been informed, and proper advertisements had been placed in the
paper per Florida Statutes. He stated that the agreement before
the Board at this time was the agreement that the Interim County
Attorney had indicated that he would be proposing to the Board for
approval.

Mr. James Crawford, Attorney, McQuire, Voorhis, & Wells, P.A.,
appeared before the Board and stated that a motion was pending to
set up an administrative hearing toward the end of November; at
which time, Mr. Richey interjected that a prehearing has been
scheduled on November 17, 1995 before a hearing officer.

There being no further public comment, the public hearing
portion of the meeting was closed.

Commr. Cadwell stated that he had voted for the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment and would not be in support of entering into the
Settlement Agreement.

Commr. Hanson stated that the amendment from rural to suburban
was appropriate from a planning perspective particularly in
conjunction with the vested Development of Regional Impact (DRI) in
place with provision that it would be a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) with utilities provided. She stated that the area in
question was a natural growth area, and to lock in the zoning would
put an unnatural impediment on a natural growth area.

Commr. Swartz stated that he voted against the transmittal and
the adoption of the amendment because it was inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. He stated that it was a non-conforming
Development of Regional Impact (DRI), and the County was
essentially enlarging what was a non-conforming use within the Lake
County Comprehensive Plan. He stated that he was in favor of
entering into a Settlement Agreement, however, did not know whether
he would support a Settlement Agreement that added one hundred and
seventy (170) acres to the DRI. He stated that he would vote for
the Settlement Agreement before the Board at this time, and would
consider the addition of one-hundred and seventy (170) acres as a
separate issue, if the County Attorney's office could assure the
Board that the County has complied with all requirements under
FloridaStatute, Chapter 163.

Commr. Good made a motion, which was seconded by Commr.
Swartz, to enter into the Stipulated Settlement Agreement between
Lake County and the State of Florida, Department of Community
Affairs, regarding the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings
Case No. 94-5324GM.

Commr. Swartz requested that the motion be amended to include
the stipulation that approval and acceptance of the Settlement
Agreement be subject to further review by the County Attorney's
office to assure that all of the necessary advertising and due
process has been met per FloridaStatute, Chapter 163.

Mr. Minkoff stated that it may be difficult or impossible for
the County Attorney's office to confirm that discussions were or
were not held. He recommended that the Board postpone this request
to allow staff time to determine if the County has complied with
FloridaStatute, Chapter 163. He stated that staff would give
complete notice to the intervenors of any discussions that occur.

At this time, Commr. Good withdrew his motion.

Commr. Good made a motion, which was seconded by
Commr. Swartz, to postpone to a Times Certain, on September 5,
1995, at 9:00 a.m., consideration of a Stipulated Settlement
Agreement between Lake County and the State of Florida, Department
of Community Affairs, in regard to the Florida Division of
Administrative Hearings Case No. 94-5824G, Department of Community
Affairs v. Lake County and Pringle Communities and Charles E.
Bradshaw, pending review by the County Attorney that all
advertising requirements have been met.

Commr. Cadwell made a motion, which was seconded by
Commr. Hanson, to amend the motion to state that the County
Attorney's office would continue to work with the intervenors and
the Department of Community Affairs on the items of the Settlement
Agreement during that time period.

Commr. Swartz stated that he would not support the amendment
to the motion and that the Settlement Agreement before the Board at
this time was the correct agreement.

Commr. Gerber stated that she would not support the amendment
to the motion.

The Chairman called for a vote on the motion to amend the
motion, which failed by a 2 - 3 vote.

consideration of a Settlement of Winter Park Design & Build, Inc.
v. Lake County, Case No. 95-995-CA-01, in the amount of $19,260.00.

Commr. Hanson stated that she did not support taking this
issue to Court and would not support the motion because of the
mistake made by staff and continued by the County Commission.

Commr. Swartz explained that the Settlement Agreement only
pays for the costs that were incurred after the red tag was put on
the construction of the pool until the Board took action to allow
continuation of the construction of the pool, legal fees, and the
difference in cost between the original pool contract, and the
revised costs that were being charged by the pool contractor to
remobilize and complete the construction of the swimming pool.

At this time, the Chairman opened the public hearing portion

TIMES CERTAIN

ROAD PROJECTS/ROADS-COUNTY & STATE

Mr. Jim Stivender, Jr., Director of Public Services, appeared
before the Board to present the County Five Year Road Program. He
directed the Board's attention to the Transportation Construction
Program for 1996-2000 and discussed the gas tax programs scheduled
for each Commission District. He noted that the 1996 Countywide
Resurfacing and Striping Program would be approximately
$250,000.00, and the Sidewalk Project would be approximately
$100,000.00. He discussed the Road Impact Fee Programs scheduled
for each Commission District, and the ranking of said programs.
Mr. Stivender brought up for discussion the Clay to Pave
Evaluation Process and explained that the roads that have
Commissioner District lines running down the middle have been added
to a list of their own, and would be incorporated back into the
program at a later date. He stated that a maintenance ranking had
been added to the process to establish a light, normal or heavy
maintenance problem on the clay roads throughout each Commission
District. He noted that there were two hundred and six (206) miles
of clay roads. He discussed the "Number of Homes Ranking" category
and explained that the information was derived from 1994 aerial
photographs of structures on the ground. He stated that there may
be some clay roads that may qualify for impact fees because of
their functional classification and traffic demand.

Commr. Hanson discussed the paving of Deerhaven Road, Paisley
Road, and Maggie Jones Road and questioned if the Parks Service
would agree to the paving of Deerhaven Road. Mr. Stivender
responded that the Parks Service had not agreed to paving the
roads, however, staff was prioritizing the roads to prove that
there was a justification for paving said roads.

Mr. Stivender explained that this was a numerical process of
ranking and that a five year program would be developed from this
ranking. He discussed the funding of the clay roads and explained
that the County paves approximately seven (7) miles of clay roads
per year, and over a period of twenty years there would be
approximately 70 miles of unpaved roads that the County would not
have funds available to pave.

Commr. Good requested that staff provide numbers on the cost
of maintenance of clay roads versus paved roads.

At this time, Mr. Stivender introduced those present in the
audience from the Department of Public Services.

Mr. Jim Richards, representing the Town of Lady Lake, appeared
before the Board and stated that the Town of Lady Lake was
supportive of the County's Five Year Transportation Construction
Program and were pleased that the Road Impact Fee Program would
improve capacity.

Ms. Pat Mayhill, representing the City of Eustis, appeared
before the Board to discuss the Merry Road Extension and expressed
concern that the City of Eustis section of Merry Road had
originally been listed as priority Number 2 and has been moved to
priority Number 4. She stated that the City of Eustis has been
working with the three property owners involved, who would be
providing an enormous amount of right-of-way for this project, and
that this project must remain on the fast tract.

No action was required on the Transportation Construction
Program presentation at this time.

PURCHASING/REPORTS

Ms. Kelly Adams, Purchasing Manager, appeared before the Board
to present the Issue Paper on the Reprographic Center and explained
that the Board approved the implementation of the centralized
Reprographic Center on March 15, 1994 with a high speed Xerox 5100
copier, the purchase of five (5) intermediate copiers, and eleven
(11) low volume copiers. She stated that the Xerox 5100 could
handle up to 400,000 copies per month, and the County's total
average monthly volume was 331,718 copies. She stated that the
goal for the Reprographic Center was to copy 65% of the total
volume of copies produced by the County on the Xerox 5100. She
stated that currently fifty-nine (59%) percent of the County's
total copies are copied on the Xerox 5100, and the low and
intermediate copiers are handling the other forty-one (41%)
percent.

Ms. Vicki Runninger, Reprographic Technician, appeared before
the Board to discuss the types of copy paper used, and stated that
the Reprographic Center was using recycled paper for the Solid
Waste Department and regular paper for all other departments. She
explained that recycled paper was double the cost of regular white
paper and was dirty paper, which results in more down time.

Ms. Adams stated that Purchasing was in the process of putting
statistical information together for a paper bid for the County's
total use, including colored paper, and would be dealing directly
through the mills and the distributors that represent the mills.
She stated that currently Ernie Morris Enterprises, Inc. was
offering a lower cost than the state contract cost for copy paper.
Ms. Adams stated that the County's copier maintenance cost
prior to the implementation of the center was an average of $.024
per copy, which did not include toner and developer. She explained
that the Reprographic Center's copier maintenance costs for the low
and intermediate copiers was $.015 per copy which includes toner
and developer. She stated that the Xerox 5100 maintenance costs,
including toner and developer, was $.011, and the County has saved
approximately fifty (50%) percent in maintenance and supply costs.

Ms. Adams stated that $.03 per copy was the charge for copies
made by the Xerox 5100, which includes labor cost plus replacement
costs, maintenance/supply costs and paper, and $.04 per copy for
the low and intermediate copiers, which does not include labor,
however, does include machine replacement costs, maintenance/supply
costs and paper.

Ms. Adams stated that the goal of Purchasing for Fiscal Year
1995-96 was to encourage the departments, divisions and officers to
utilize the Reprographic Center so that the Xerox 5100 produces
sixty (60%) percent of the total copies made throughout the County.

No action was required on the presentation made by Purchasing
at this time.

TIMES CERTAIN

JOINT MEETING BETWEEN LAKE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD AND THE LAKE

COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

At this time, Commr. Gerber opened the Joint Meeting between
the Lake County School Board and the Lake County Board of County
Commissioners and introduced Lake County's new County Attorney, Mr.
Sandy Minkoff. It was noted that the following individuals were
present from the School Board: Ms. Kyleen Fisher, Chairperson,
Ms. Judy Pearson, Vice-Chairperson; Mr. Randall E. Wiseman; and
Mr. Tom Chapman. Others present representing the Lake County
School Board were as follows: Mr. Tom Sanders, Superintendent of
Schools; Mr. Robert Furnas, Finance Director; Mr. Jerry Cox,
Assistant Superintendent for Business and Administration; and
Mr. Gene Molnar, Supervisor of Growth and Development/Pupil
Accounting.

Ms. Kyleen Fisher, Chairperson, Lake County School Board,
discussed the Lake County School Board's position on the millage
rate and stated that the School Board has tentatively accepted a
millage rate of 9.678 and that the next public hearing on the
millage was scheduled on September 12, 1995 at 5:05 p.m.
Ms. Fisher directed the Board's attention to a memorandum, dated
August 2, 1995, from Mr. Thomas E. Sanders, Superintendent, which
addressed the Local Discretionary-Base; and Discretionary-Supplemental millage rates. It was noted that the above noted
memorandum had been distributed to the Board prior to the start of
the meeting this date.

Mr. Robert Furnas, Lake County School Board Finance Director,
discussed the tentative millage rates that have been tentatively
approved by the School Board. He explained that the required local
effort was set forth in the Florida Education Finance Program and
must be levied in order to participate in the state funds that are
available, and that the proposed millage levy for Fiscal Year 1995-96 was 6.918. He further explained that the Discretionary-Base of
.510 was for the General Operating Fund and may be levied at the
discretion of the School Board. He stated that the Capital Outlay
millage that the School Board was authorized to levy was 2.000
mills, and tentative approval has been given for 2.000 mills for
Fiscal Year 1995-96.

Ms. Fisher explained that the Capital Outlay tax would
generate approximately $9,840,000.00 to be used for construction
and remodeling; maintenance, renovations and repairs; motor vehicle
purchases; new and replacement equipment; and payments for
educational facilities due under a lease-purchase agreement. At
this time, Ms. Fisher discussed the above noted projects.

Mr. Tom Sanders, Superintendent of Schools, stated that the
C.B. Griffin Education Center, located in Howey-in-the-Hills, could
be used for classrooms or special programs should the School Board
decide to do magnet type programs such as environmental centers, or
performing art centers, or could be made into a school campus
depending on money availability, and the School Board's desire. He
stated that it was ideally located for administrative offices, and
the School Board was considering the possibility of moving the
media center to that area.

Ms. Fisher stated that the School Board has identified
$130,000,000.00 in needs, and the budget does not accommodate those
needs. She stated that the School Board had considered modular
schools; however, it has been determined that the cost difference
between the conventional construction price, and the modular
construction price was minimal, and there was a significant
difference in the longevity of the use of the facilities.

Ms. Fisher explained that the School Board came to the Board
of County Commissioner with hope that the County Commission would
be able to accommodate the School Board with some of the penny tax
money. She stated that the School Board was committed to helping
itself and would be very grateful for any assistance that the
County Commission could provide. She stated that the public has
indicated support of a portion of the penny tax money being used
for the school system.

Mr. Tom Chapman addressed the dire need for a new school in
South Lake County, North East Lake County, and the Fruitland Park
area, and the need for additional room, desks, and text books
because of the influx in student population.

Mr. Tom Wiseman addressed the overcrowding of classrooms at
Roseborough Elementary School, and the need for a new school in the
Sorrento area.

Ms. Fisher stated that many campuses were overloaded with
modular classrooms and that the campuses were not only at seating
capacity, but also sewage system capacity. She stated that the
School Board could not accommodate all of the waste and affluent at
the school sites because of the overcrowding situation.

Mr. Sanders stated that Lake County's population growth was
second in Central Florida at sixteen (16%) percent, and that the
classroom size was competitive with the number of children in the
classroom locally and around the state.

Mr. Ed Havill, Property Appraiser, appeared before the Boards
and encouraged the School Board and the County Commission to
consider establishing an interlocal agreement between the School
Board, the Cities, and the County for the purpose of building
schools. He stated that the seven cent tax needs to be used to
build schools.

Mr. Chapman stated that it was his understanding, at the
previous joint meeting, that once the School Board exercised their
prerogative as far as millage and taxation was concerned, the Board
of County Commissioners would provide the School Board with
assistance from the penny sales tax.

Commr. Hanson clarified that her intent was that she would be
in support of funds going for enhancement programs, such as a
Juvenile Justice Assessment Center, or a One Stop School Concept,
to elevate some of the classroom situations in a partnership with
the School Board.

RECESS & REASSEMBLY

At 3:00 p.m., the Chairman announced that the Board would
recess for a short break due to a power failure.

JOINT MEETING BETWEEN THE LAKE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD AND LAKE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS (CONTINUED)

Commr. Cadwell discussed Lake County's responsibility to
children and explained that the Board of County Commissioners have
expended $250,000.00 per year on recreation facilities for
children, the Citizens' Commission for Children has received
$200,000.00 to $400,000.00 per year for programs for children, and
the D.A.R.E. program has been funded. He stated that Lake County
does more for children than most counties of comparable size.

Commr. Gerber stated that it was her understanding from the
last joint meeting that the School Board and the Board of County
Commissioners would work on a joint funding and grant project. She
noted that economic development was the Board's number one
priority, and schools were one of the number one issues in economic
development.

Commr. Hanson responded to a comment from Ms. Fisher in regard
to the proposed fairgrounds/expo center, and stated that the County
has looked at the immediate needs of children; however, the Board
was also looking long term, and the fairgrounds/expo center was a
potential for job creation and tourism, and would generate dollars
that would help fund jobs for parents. She stated that it was the
consensus of the Board of County Commissioners to support
education.

Commr. Good stated that not all education occurs in the
schools, and the school system states that it takes a community to
raise a child. He stated that the question was are the projects in
the capital improvements list also helping to educate and build the
community. He stated that there were many projects that are funded
that help educate the community, and questioned whether it was the
Board of County Commissioners' responsibility to build schools, or
to enhance other programs and provide the community with
educational opportunities.

Commr. Swartz stated that the monies that were being expended
through the Citizens' Commission for Children did not come from
infrastructure sales tax but from cuts made in other portions of
the budget. He stated that he would be interested in a survey to
determine what other County Commissions were doing to help
children. He explained that County staff would be creating a five
year capital improvements plan, and a five year overall budget
plan. He stated that, once a five year plan has been established
and there are no Legislature mandates particularly in the area of
corrections, he would be willing to consider other projects.

Ms. Hope Lamb appeared before the Boards and expressed her
appreciation to Ms. Fisher for bringing forth important facts, and
to Commr. Gerber for acknowledging that the County funds non-profits, provides grants, and gives away money. She stated that
the issue was what was the responsibility of the County to the
taxpayers, and what was the County doing that was not the County's
responsibility. At this time, she briefly discussed
infrastructure sales tax monies.

Mr. Mike Anderson, Director of Facilities & Capital
Improvements, appeared before the Boards to address concerns
expressed by Ms. Lamb in regard to infrastructure sales tax and
explained that a line item had been created through the Finance,
Audit and Budgets Department to allow for direct transfer of funds
to the appropriate recipient of said funds.

Mr. Wiseman stated that the School Board and the citizens of
the state must recognize that the child citizen of the State of
Florida has a constitutional right to an education, and the School
Board and the citizens have to provide said education. He stated
that he would like to leave the meeting this date with the
understanding that the County Commission was going to make an
effort to make a definite impact on the education of our children.

Ms. Sandra Green appeared before the Boards and stated that
education should become a part of the Lake County Comprehensive
Plan to provide standards for levels of service that are going to
be acceptable when new development comes in. She stated that
impact fees need to be realistic and suggested, as a long range
plan, the County consider a cooperative effort to purchase land for
a central complex that would incorporate full service schools, and
include recreation facilities.

Commr. Hanson stated that she would like to leave the meeting
this date with the option for further discussion in regard to full
service schools.

Commr. Swartz responded to comments made by Ms. Green in
regard to an Educational Element in the Comprehensive Plan and
stated that an Education Element would be an endeavor by the School
Board, and he would encourage the School Board to consider an
Education Element. He stated that the Board of County
Commissioners would continue to offer technical help from the
Planning and Development Services Department to help bring about an
Education Element which would be a voluntary element of the State
Growth Management Act. He stated that he continues to support
concurrency in an Education Element.

Mr. Sanders stated that the problems of the School Board were
the day to day operation and meeting the day to day needs. He
stated that it was his understanding that the sales surtax could be
used for this purpose. He stated that he would like to leave the
meeting this date with the understanding that the Lake County
School System has approximately $130,000,000.00 in needs to meet
the needs that exist today in renovation, reroofing, and building
of classrooms. He explained that, after the School Board pays back
money required for indebtedness, approximately $35,000,000.00
remains, which leaves the School Board $90,000,000.00 short of
funds not taking into account the growth that was expected to occur
in the next five years.

DISCUSSION REGARDING VALUE ADJUSTMENT BOARD SPECIAL MASTER

Commr. Gerber brought up for discussion the issue of
consideration of a Special Master for the Value Adjustment Board
hearings. Commr. Gerber reviewed FloridaStatutes, Chapter
194.035, and stated that the responsibility of a Special Master was
to hear all of the cases of the Value Adjustment Board, make
findings of fact and conclusions of law based on information from
the individual, and make a recommendation to the Value Adjustment
Board on those cases based upon his/her findings of fact and
conclusions of law. She stated that the Value Adjustment Board
then makes a decision on a parcel by parcel basis.

Mr. Ed Havill, Property Appraiser, appeared before the Board
to express his opposition to a Special Master for Lake County at
this time. He stated that to spend additional public monies for a
Special Master was a waste of taxpayers money, and it was an
avoidance issue in some cases. He stated that Lake County was not
ready for a Special Master.

Mr. Sandy Minkoff, County Attorney, explained that the
Property Appraiser would have to ability to appeal a decision of
the Value Adjustment Board whether or not said decision was the
recommendation the Special Master. He suggested that using a
Special Master could increase the possibility of lawsuits, if the
Special Master did not reside in the County and was less likely to
agree with the Property Appraiser.

Commr. Swartz stated that one of the values of the Value
Adjustment Board over the Special Master was that it allows the
citizenry the opportunity to appear before members of the primary
taxing authorities to present their case and get a fair review.

It was the decision of the School Board and the Board of
County Commissioners not to change the Value Adjustment Board
procedures.

ASSESSMENTS/SOLID WASTE

Mr. David Crowe, Acting Solid & Hazardous Waste Director,
appeared before the Board and stated that the public hearing was
for the purpose of setting the Solid Waste Municipal Service
Benefit Unit non-ad valorem rate schedule. He discussed the Solid
Waste Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Scheduled, Exhibit A of the
Resolution; at which time, Ms. Cindy Heffler, Assessment/Customer
Service Coordinator, displayed said Exhibit on the monitor for
review. Mr. Crowe explained that the disposal rate for Fiscal
Year 1995-96 was $75.50. He explained that the drop-off
transportation fee for the citizens' not on hauler service was
$11.50, an increase of $1.00 per unit over the previous year. He
noted that the proposed drop-off charge rates were also not-to-exceed rates. He stated that the property owners have been noticed
for a four (4) year period and that a five (5%) percent projected
increase over four years has been calculated for the not-to-exceed
rates for disposal. Mr. Crowe briefly discussed the three classes
of billings which were property owners who are tax billed; hauler
billed; and those who are not on hauler service (self hauled).

At this time, Commr. Gerber opened the public hearing portion
of the meeting.

Mr. Gunnard Brautcheck, owner of Spring Hill Farms, Britt
Road, appeared before the Board and stated that Spring Hill Farms
was an agricultural operation and was zoned agriculture. He
referenced Section 21.115, Section 21.146, and Section 21.147
amending Lake County Codes, and questioned why his dairy farm was
being assessed for garbage pick up, in the amount of $175.00, when
the operation was zoned agriculture, noting that Spring Hill Farms
was not a residential or an improved residential facility.

Commr. Hanson stated that it was her understanding that a
residence in conjunction with a business or agriculture would be
billed as commercial.

Mr. Brautcheck further discussed a problem of trash being
thrown from moving vehicles on Britt Road in front of his farm. At
this time, he distributed photographs to the Board illustrating the
trash along Britt Road. He stated that Britt Road was a road that
was operated by the public, and has become a nuisance to the
property owners. He expressed concern with Industrial Waste
Services' solid waste trucks parking in the middle of the road and
not observing traffic regulations, which presents a hazard to the
public.

Mr. Robert J. Davis, a resident of Groveland, appeared before
the Board and expressed concern that the public hearing being held
at 5:05 p.m., presents a problem for those who work. He further
expressed concern with the increase in his hauling bill. It was
noted that Mr. Davis had misinterpreted his hauling bill.

Mr. William Deckman, a resident of Deland, appeared before the
Board to express his concern with the assessment schedule, the
confusing form, and the lack of information provided to the public.
He stated that he did not support a four (4) year schedule and
questioned how the Board derived at the figures in the assessment.
He noted that he was not on hauler service.

Commr. Cadwell responded to Mr. Deckman's concerns, and
explained that the four (4) year schedule would save the County
approximately $30,000.00 per year in postage for mailing first
class notices.

Discussion occurred in regard to the first class notices that
are sent to the property owners; at which time Commr. Swartz
suggested that the form include the Solid Waste Non-Ad Valorem
Assessment Schedule for the purpose of providing clarification.

At this time, Mr. Crowe was requested to meet with Mr. Deckman
to further address his concerns.

Ms. Elyse Rainey, a resident of the Lake Kathryn area,
appeared before the Board to express her concern with the first
class notices that were sent to the property owners, and requested
a copy of the Solid Waste Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Schedule for
her perusal.

Mr. Don Esarey, a resident of Clermont, appeared before the
Board and expressed concern with the increases in the Solid Waste
Schedule from Fiscal Year 1993-94 to Fiscal Year 1998-1999. He
questioned where the money was being spent.

Mr. Bruce McQuire, a resident of St. Augustine, appeared
before the Board, and questioned how the maximum rate increase of
five (5%) percent was to be determined, who sets the criteria, and
what type of review process was in place.

Commr. Swartz responded to Mr. McQuire's concerns and
explained that the percentage of rate increase was based on an
index as part of the haulers' contract, and that the Board, along
with staff, reviews and determine the Solid Waste budget.

Mr. McQuire stated that the building on his property has been
vacant for two years, and has been condemned. He questioned what
provisions were available for a building that was destroyed.

It was noted that there was a procedure in place to remove
property from the assessment roll with proper documentation.

Mr. Wetzel White, a resident of Leesburg, appeared before the
Board and stated that the County was spending too much money on the
solid waste programs. He expressed concern that the Board did not
represent the people of Lake County or what the residents want to
do with the solid waste program.

Ms. Lynn Knorr, a property owner in the Astor area, appeared
before the Board and stated that the majority of her concerns and
confusion have been addressed this evening. She encouraged the
Board to include the Solid Waste Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Schedule
with the first class notice to the property owners in the future.
She suggested that the notice also include a statement that states
"This is not a bill" to clarify some of questions and concerns.

There being no further public comment, the public hearing
portion of the meeting closed.

Commr. Good made a motion, which was seconded by Commr.
Swartz, to approved and authorize the Chairman to execute
Resolution No. 1995-172, adopting the "Solid Waste Municipal
Service Benefit Unit" non-ad valorem rate schedule; and the non-ad
valorem assessment roll as advertised; subject to final review and
approval by the County Attorney.

Commr. Hanson stated that she would not support the action
before the Board at this time because of the five (5%) percent rate
of increase in the Solid Waste Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Schedule.
The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which carried by
a 4 - 1 vote.

Commr. Hanson voted "No".

At this time, Commr. Swartz expressed his appreciation to
Ms. Sue Whittle, Interim County Manager, and the Solid Waste staff
for diligently working to hold the solid waste disposal rates at
the same level as last year.

There being no further business to be brought to the attention
of the Board, the meeting adjourned at 6:25 p.m.
